Guestbook

  1. Woody Woodall and I are sending our sincere condolences on the loss of Randall . May you always feel his presence in your heart and soul. Much sadness. Randall stopped by here to check on Woody not so long ago and wanted to be helpful for anything that was needed.

  2. Randall was truly a wonderful friend and person all around. He was one of my best friends for over 20 years. There was nothing he would not do or help another soul with. He was a hard worker, generous, great personality even when he felt the worse. Some of the best memories was when him and morgan cox would be working on the farm. You did not see one without the other. My family loves Randall and will miss him terribly!

  3. Always liked working with Randall. He was a good person who cared about other people. I am sure the world is a better place because he was in it. I will keep a good thought for the family during this sad time.

  4. I\’ve known Randall for 50+ years. Even as a teenager, he was always friendly, polite and a gentleman in my presence. He will be missed by many.

  5. Many fond memories of him and his family growing up on Poor House Road. He smiled with a twinkle in his eyes . When I was a little girl I remember how excited I was when he would stop at the bottom of the hill and talk. Prayers for comfort to all his family in his passing,

  6. We all will miss Randall he was such a Entertaining person telling story after story around the camp fire.. He is probably doing same thing in Heaven. He will be greatly missed.

  7. Prayers & thoughts to Randall’s family during this time. May your memories with Randall comfort you. Randall was such a comfort to my mother, Barbara, during the loss of my Daddy , Jimmie Ward, in February, 2023..
